Calcium Iodate Monohydrate is a highly stable iodine source essential for the production of nutritional premixes. It functions as a critical trace mineral used to prevent iodine deficiency and maintain healthy thyroid function in livestock and poultry. This high-purity crystalline powder serves as an effective maturing agent and dough conditioner in the industrial baking sector. It improves gluten structure and provides mechanical stability to dough during high-volume commercial food processing. As a Feed Grade and Food Grade additive, it offers superior resistance to moisture compared to other iodates, ensuring a long shelf-life. Its chemical stability makes it the preferred choice for fortification in diverse agricultural and nutritional applications.    

Calcium Iodate Monohydrate

Applications
  • Animal Feed Fortification: Added to mineral premixes for cattle, poultry, and swine to ensure metabolic health and prevent goiter.
  • Industrial Dough Conditioning: Utilized in commercial bakeries as an oxidizing agent to enhance bread volume and crumb texture.
  • Dietary Supplements: Used as an iodine-providing active ingredient in pharmaceutical-grade vitamin and mineral formulations.
Safety & Risks
Calcium Iodate Monohydrate is a strong oxidizer that may intensify fire; store away from heat and flammable materials. It is a known Skin and Eye Irritant. Always use nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a dust mask (N95) when handling bulk powder.
